The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that workers at an Iowa City Bruegger’s Bagels store can vote to unionize.

The Press-Citizen reports employees claim their plan to organize Bruegger’s Workers United would be the first unionization effort at a Bruegger’s anywhere in the country.

Workers at both the Iowa City Riverside Drive and Coralville location sought approval for a July 9^th vote, but Coralville workers will not be eligible because that location has been closed since May 31^st.

The downtown Iowa City Bruegger’s is not part of the vote.

Representatives with Bruegger’s declined to comment on the ongoing union activity.
